98 Tlie Booh of Enoch [Sect. II
And forgo the works of their hands.
3. They shall have no honour through the name of the Lord of
SpirifcSj
Yet through His name shall they be saved,
And the Lord of Spirits will have compassion on them,
For His compassion is great.
4. And He is righteous also in His judgement.
And in the presence of His glory unrighteousness also shall
not maintain itself
:
At His judgement the unrepentant shall perish before Him.
5. And from henceforth I will have no mercy on them, saith
the Lord of Spirits.

LI. 1. And in those days shall the earth also give back that
which has been entrusted to it.
will be saved as by fire. They will
not have the abundant entering in of
the Jews. Through the name of
(a), i! 2/3 'before'. 4, 5. When the
hour of the final judgement arrives,
the season of mercy for the Gentiles is
past for ever. Note the aflinities of
thought between SO^"^ and Q^^ ^5.
Cf. 4 Ezra 7=^ 2 Bar. SS^^. Observe
that the final judgement here is not at
the beginning of the Messianic reign
as in the Parables, but apparently
at its close, as in 91-104. In 4 Ezra
and 2 Bar., where the Messianic
kingdom is of temporary duration,
and brought to a close by the final
judgement, a peiiod of repentance is
rightly spoken of. Cf. 2 Bar. 8512
4 Ezra 7=*.
LI. 1. The resurrection here is a
resurrection of all Israel but not of
the Gentiles. 51' would indeed seem
to point to the latter, and this all the
more so, as 4 Ezra 7^" and 7^' which
are evidently based on it, and on
1 En. 60°, are applied to a general re-
surrection. But the whole history of
Jewish thought points in an opposite
direction. As we shall see below,
no Jewish books except the T.
Benj. 10*~* and 4 Ezi'a teach indubit-
ably the doctrine of a general resur-
rection, Individual utterances to
the contrary in the Talmud will
be noticed below. On the question
